Audit-ready every day, aligned to DfE rules.
The compliance hub for DfE audit readiness. Accountability Framework, Provider Financial Handbook and apprenticeship funding rules tracked in real time, with alerts before thresholds are breached.
All your DfE-facing compliance, in one dashboard.
The Accountability Framework, the Provider Financial Handbook and the Apprenticeship Funding Rules. Three regulatory frameworks, one set of dashboards, one audit trail.
Accountability Framework (AAF)
Track your performance against AAF metrics: minimum standards, national rates and intervention triggers in real time. Six AAF measures including QAR, QRR, APPED, withdrawals, employer feedback and apprentice feedback, all with current status, value, learner counts and direct drill-throughs.
Provider Financial Handbook
Maintain compliance with financial requirements. Performance management, subcontracting limits and reporting obligations tracked. Status indicators across financial health, contract compliance and audit readiness.
Apprenticeship Funding Rules
Ensure funding compliance with visibility into eligibility, evidence requirements and risk identification. Audit cards align directly to DfE rules: 42-day Training Plan, 12-week Reviews, OTJH delivery, monthly activity coverage, all with RAG status driven by 90/70 thresholds.
Six features that make the audit easy.
From dashboard to drill-down to board pack.
Compliance dashboard
Single view of compliance status across regulatory areas. RAG ratings and alerts for immediate visibility.
Document Compliance
Drill into missing or offline signatures by stakeholder. ILR exclusions and per-learner Compliance pages complete the audit trail.
Automated alerts
Get notified when metrics approach thresholds. Early warning of potential compliance breaches.
Per-learner compliance pages
Drill from any compliance flag to the named learners behind it. Every issue traceable to a learner record.
Subcontractor monitoring
Track subcontractor performance against your contract requirements. Ensure your supply chain meets DfE expectations.
Board-ready reporting
Generate governance reports on compliance status and risks. Keep your board informed without manual compilation.

- What is the DfE Accountability Framework?
- The Accountability Framework (AAF) is the Department for Education's framework for holding funded training providers to account across delivery, quality, financial health and governance. It sets the thresholds and expectations against which provider performance is judged, and underpins intervention decisions.
- What is the Provider Financial Handbook?
- The Provider Financial Handbook sets out the financial requirements funded providers must meet, including financial health, performance management, subcontracting limits and reporting obligations. AiVII tracks status across financial health, contract compliance and audit readiness against those requirements.
- Can a compliance flag be traced back to individual learners?
- Yes. Every compliance flag drills through to the named learners behind it, so an issue is always traceable to specific records rather than remaining an aggregate number you then have to investigate manually.
- How is subcontractor compliance managed?
- Subcontractor performance is tracked against your contract requirements, so you can evidence that your supply chain meets DfE expectations rather than assuming it does.
- Does AiVII replace our MIS or funding submission system?
- No. AiVII is a provider management system, not a learner management system. It wraps around the systems that own your funding and learner data, adding a continuous compliance view. Your MIS and submission processes stay exactly as they are.
